To whom it may concern:

I’m trying to create a CATScript that will search a CATPart and delete the deactivated
features and their associated sketches from the CATIA tree. I’ve had limited success with
this I can use the following search string: “selection1.Search "CATPrtSearch.PartDesign
Feature.Activity=FALSE"” to remove the deactivated features but the sketch that was used
to create the deactivated feature remains behind in the CATIA tree. Please don’t suggest
“Delete Useless Elements” this tends to delete elements that we don’t want deleted I have
already tried this. The CATScript must be able to run without any human interaction.

Additional information that may help: The sketches that we are trying to delete are renamed
a specific way and are linked to other CATParts through Published elements (see attached .jpg file).

I’m new to the programming aspect of CATIA and I can’t figure out how to accomplish this.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated; samples and examples you are
willing to share would be great.

Thank You in Advance
